Pampered by My Ex's Cousin

Chapter 525 - 517: Awkward Living Together (Five)

Was Ji Chicheng the one that brought you back home?

What does that mean? Anning froze for a moment, her gaze instinctively shot towards Ji Chicheng, and then quickly returned to study Qi Helian’s message for a while.

She asked, "What does that mean?"

Qi Helian replied, "It means nothing, he is just that kind of person. His jealousy is particularly strong, and he doesn’t know how to express it. If he hits you, scolds you, or bullies you, it’s also a way he shows he cares about you."

Anning smiled.

Really?

"Jealous of the glorious love life of young master Qi."

She skipped the topic about Qi Helian because, for her, the relationship with Ji Chicheng was an awkward no-go zone.

If she didn’t mention it, she might be able to sit here a little longer. Upon reflection, she shouldn’t even have stepped into this courtyard.

Exchanging a few light-hearted teases with Qi Helian actually helped her completely shift her focus from the horror film.

"Mommy, look... Daddy."

The little girl on her lap suddenly turned around and, while Anning was distracted, snatched away her phone, claiming she wanted to see "daddy."

Anning grew anxious and quickly snatched the phone back, "No, watch the TV."

Fenfen pouted, "Daddy."

Her chubby finger pointed at the phone Anning was holding tightly in her hand.

"The TV is gone, Mommy will take you for a bath."

Feeling guilty, Anning stood up with Fenfen and walked toward the stairs.

Watching the two of them head upstairs, their figures disappearing at the stairway, Ji Chicheng turned around with a frown, his eyes clouded with gloom.

Who was he chatting with so happily? And who is the "daddy" in the photo Fenfen keeps mentioning inside the phone?

...

"Miss Anning, if you need anything, just call for me," said the maid as she ushered Anning into the room, then greeted and left.

Anning nodded at her, retracted her gaze, and swept around the room’s corners.

The room was large, directly across from Ji Chicheng’s room, facing the north and overlooking the front yard with huge floor-to-ceiling windows. The light was slightly obscured by the branches and leaves outside but was still very bright.

Water-blue printed bed linens, grey-white curtains, a simple and comfortable decorative style−everything was Ji Chicheng’s style.

"Whoosh..."

Anning was still observing everything in the room when she suddenly heard the sound of water, which came from...

She turned around—it was coming from the bathroom.

There was also a dripping sound inside, she frowned and warily walked to the bathroom door, only to see a scene that made her cheeks flush with shock.

"Mommy... playing... giggles..."

Fenfen had climbed onto the toilet, legs dangling inside, her little bottom seated on the edge, one hand splashing water at the rim, and the other hand pressing the flush button.

Another "whoosh" sound.

Watching the fierce flow inside the toilet, she laughed breathlessly.

"Get out, it’s filthy." Anning’s lips twitched twice as she quickly rushed over and plucked the little girl from the toilet.

Her pink pajamas were all wet, her water-soaked hands happily clapping.

"Hey, dirty!"

The little girl, seizing the moment Anning was distracted, stuffed her hands into her mouth again.

Anning was utterly exasperated, she grabbed her arm and yanked her hand out of her mouth, looking at her now fully water-covered lips, even she couldn’t bear to look directly, and softly reprimanded, "That’s a toilet for pooping, it has germs, it’s dirty, it’s not a toy, you can’t play with it."
